Peace and security
Conflict prevention and peacebuilding
Our work centres around continental and regional institutional frameworks that can help prevent and manage conflict and address structural violence. Key among these are the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) and its linkages with the African Governance Architecture (AGA), and the EU’s external peace and security instruments – such as the European Peace Facility (EPF).
